Breast Health Overview

Early detection is key to surviving breast cancer.

Protect yourself with three easy steps:

1. Annual mammogram (starting at age 40) if you are at average risk– Talk with your health care provider about the best time to start having mammograms if you have a family history of breast cancer or an increased risk of developing breast. S/he may advise you to start getting mammograms at an earlier age.
2. Clinical Breast Exam (starting at age 20) – You should have a clinical breast exam by a trained medical profession at a minimum of every three years before age 40 and annually thereafter.
3. Monthly Breast Self Exams (starting at age 20) – It is important to examine your breasts monthly. View an excellent multimedia demonstration on how to do a breast self-exam English | Spanish (Adobe Flash required)
